Capistrano::Overrides

Provides tasks to copy override configuration files for different stages.

Installation

gem 'capistrano-overrides'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install capistrano-overrides

Usage

1. Copying and decrypting secure tokens (encrypted files)

1.1 Usage

bundle exec cap production deploy:update_secure_overrides

• The current state of the gem assumes that your encrypted files are:
  • In config/overrides/production
  • They have an asc extension; e.g., key.txt.asc
• The task first checks whether the asc file has changed since the last deploy (using checksums) and only decrypt the asc file if the file has changed.
• It will ask for password during deploy, decrypt the file in memory, and place it in {shared_path}/config/key.txt

1.1 Setup of encrypted file

Encrypt the file key.txt using a symmetric cipher (-c) and place it in key.txt.asc (-o)

gpg -a -c -o key.txt.asc key.txt

2. Copying override files for different stages.

####2.1 Usage

bundle exec cap production deploy:copy_stage_configs

• Setup your folder structure as follows:

/config/overrides/
				 /staging/*
				 /production/*
				 /alpha/*

• Upon deploy of the stage, all the files in the stage folder will be copied in /config and overwrite any files with the same name in that folder.
